Take Care of Your Car and It Will Take Care of YOU! Here's an Example of That.

Take Care of Your Car and It Will Take Care of YOU! Here's an Example of That.

This principle pretty much applies to all cars. Take care of your car and it will take care of you. Some of them will be better than others but in the end this simple principle can be applied to any car.

In this video we look at 2 similar models. one of them have had a long history of care and it shows at 300,000 miles. One of them have had a questionable history and even with the current owner’s best care still had issues at an early age.

Folks maintenance is key at the early life of a car’s life. And that early care and dedication will pay off in the later years of the car’s ownership.

You don’t have to be a mechanic to take care of your car well. Simply understand the car’s maintenance and follow through with it. Taking care of a car doesn’t have to cost you a small fortune.

Service History ALWAYS trumps mileage. I recently purchased a used 2019 Corolla Hatchback SE (LOVE THIS CAR) at 55k miles. Saw the service history. Came into the shop at the same time every time every year. For oil changes, brake changes, and tire rotations. I plan on maintaining that perfect service record. I have a transmission fluid swap at 60k miles and I’m very excited for that to be my first part of maintenance

Ay Amor says:

I started changing oil and filter of my own car since last year. Fully synthetic every 6 months regardless the mileage. Now learning how to change coolant and brake fluid. Thanks Youtube ❤️

Jose Martinez says:

Love ur channel. You couldn’t have disconnected the hoses and remove the throttle body? Come on man. Dont like short cuts.

V1Rotate says:

I just want to shake your hand one time. Thanks for all of your videos. Hope to visit the shop when I’m in Chicago to see family.

Giusseppe Xiden says:

Follow the TOYOTA maintenance period of 10k oil changes on my ‘12 4Runner…. I am embarrassed. I don’t have time to do the oil/filter changes myself…..so far so good…… has 108,000 miles ….. please ease my fear and tell me it’s ok. Or just up the oil/filter change intervals to 5k miles and I’ll be ok ?

shackriff says:

2010 toyota camry check engine light and traction control light on .can you please help me with this issue ? Thank

Squire Fiske says:

I had warranty work done on my 2014 Toyota Tundra.
Because all the maintenance was done at the dealerships in my travels.
There was a record. one of the dealerships put the wrong transfer case fluid in it and it blew a seal.
It was all covered under warranty and I received a call from Toyota to make sure everything was taken care of.

Squire Fiske says:

Oil and filters changes are the life blood of any engine.

Owl 1 says:

Question? how often should I adjust the valves on my 2000 tacoma 5 lug, 2.4Lt engine. I burned a valve 4 years and had the top end rebuild all Toyota parts. Don't want to go through that again.. thank you. Wish you were with us in California. Almost forgot. How much should I pay for the valve adjustment ?

Jay Hockley says:

I own 3 other Toyotas but I just sold my 2004 4runner with the 4.0 v6 .
Bought it with 180k miles on it .
Blown head gasket , 4×4 doesnt work , multiple frame rust / rot spots .
But I didnt lose any money on it
So I ll find a better one someday .

Kody Adams says:

I HAVE 2 1999 4 RUNNER LIMITED. ONE WITH ONLY 34,627 ORIGINAL MILES AND THE OTHER WITH 783,527 ORIGINAL MILES. BOTH ARE IN VERY GOOD SHAPE ACTUALLY FIRST ONE IS IN EXCELLENT SHOWROOM SHAPE.
1999-2000 4 RUNNERS ARE THE BEST SUVS EVER MADE BY ANY SUV MAKER.

rightonrightoff says:

Please tell me, I have a 2013 lexus GS350 closing in on 115k miles, should I get the transmission fluid changed out? I constantly hear conflicting opinions. I follow regular oil change schedules and even do the oil change before reaching 5000 Miles but haven’t done transmission fluid change yet. Thank you!

Darren Morrow says:

04 corolla with 550000 on it still going strong greatest car ever made

peanutaxis says:

Love this channel but this video is nonsense. Because what could the original owner have done wrong to cause such pitting on a cylinder wall? Nothing, I think. Even running low on oil would not have caused that. So this is a nonsesne video.

tabish khan says:

Couldn't agree more. I kept my honda civic 1996 for 8 years (2009-2017). Just maintained a timetable for it's oil change (filters etc) and general tuneups.
I sold it later on but even today the person who bought it off me has no complains with the engine & drivetrain whatsoever.
Good old mineral oil and basic service like plugs and filters can really make the engine outlast it's owners.
A bulletproof shield is only as effective as the person wearing it.

j freed says:

I bought a five year old Honda accord with the odometer dialled back and a failed oil ring that was causing valve failure.
It was a great car after spending another 4000 bucks including getting a new Japanese import used engine. But the sale of this vehicle to me was theft. These are extremely good cars notwithstanding.

EZ Ingles says:

Seems like older 4 runner has less tech and has a basic no nonsense engine. Newer 4 runner has more gizmos thats my 2 cents$

J. Wilson says:

The best mechanic EVER.

larry willard says:

I agree with you 100%
. I have had atleast two cars with over 250,000 miles.

Bowhunter says:

Please help! What tires would you recommend for my 2018 Toyota Camry se 75560 miles and trying to follow your maintenance guides

Naomi Levy says:

My dad instilled those exact same words. I have a 2003 Sequoia with 245k, did timing twice, radiator, water pump, regular oil changes but can't remember changing trans. Checked receipts I only showed 1 @ 35k. Hubby claims he changed it when? I saw that it's better not to do it at this stage due to potential slippage. What's your opinion?

Mr Sentinel says:

what does taking care of it mean though, what is basic maintenance? the only thing i can think of is changing the oil and tires when they need to be, but what else do i have to do? i literally have no idea?
